The 2013 Caldecott Awards

With thousands of books to choose from, this year's 15 Caldecott Award Selection Committee Members had a difficult task ahead of them.

This year is the 75th Anniversary of The Caldecott Medal, a prestigious American Library Association (ALA) award, given annually to the year’s most notable American children's book illustrator. In 2012, the wordless book A Ball for Daisy, by Chris Raschka, took home the prize. The previous year, the award went to Erin Stead for her charming wood block printing masterpieces in A Sick Day for Amos Mcgee.

Which of your favorite picture books deserve such an award? Every year, hundreds of beautiful collages, prints, paintings, etchings, sketches, paper cut-outs and sculptures are created and turned into books beloved by children, but only one receives The Caldecott. That lucky winner joins the likes of Caldecott-winning artists Robert McCloskey (1942, 1958), Marcia Brown (1955, 1962, 1983), Maurice Sendak (1964), Arnold Lobel (1981), Chris Van Allsburg (1982, 1985) and more recently David Wiesner (1992, 2002, 2007), to name just a few. The first Caldecott was awarded to Dorothy P Lathrop in1938 forThe Animals of the Bible.

The ALA announced this year’s Caldecott Winner this morning.

Drumroll Please…

Congratulations to Jon Klassen for his illustrations in This is Not My Hat; a beautifully simple, dry and funny story of a tiny, overly confident fish who tries to steal a bowler hat from a very large, silent but ocean-wise fish. Klassen's ink and acryllic paintings are dark and expressive, and well worth this distinguished award. This gem will be an unforgettable favorite for years to come.

Amazon Says: WINNER OF THE 2013 CALDECOTT MEDAL! From the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning I Want My Hat Back comes a second wry tale. When a tiny fish shoots into view wearing a round blue topper (which happens to fit him perfectly), trouble could be following close behind. So it’s a good thing that enormous fish won’t wake up. And even if he does, it’s not like he’ll ever know what happened. . . . Visual humor swims to the fore as the best-selling Jon Klassen follows his breakout debut with another deadpan-funny tale. less...

Amazon Says: Die cut pages bring surprise after surprise in this magical new book from the "Queen of the concept book"—an intricate and satisfying homage to green, the color of all creation. How many kinds of green are there? There's the lush green of a forest on a late spring day, the fresh, juicy green of a just-cut lime, the incandescent green of a firefly, and the vivid aquamarine of a tropical sea. In her newest book, Caldecott and Geisel Honor Book author Laura Vaccaro Seeger fashions an homage to a single color and, in doing so, creates a book that will delight and, quite possibly astonish you.

Amazon Says: 2013 Randolph Caldecott Honor Award In this magical bedtime story, the lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny – like cadence: “Does everything in the world go to sleep?” the little girl asks. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a not-at-all sleepy child and understanding parents, the little girl decides “in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets,” she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger. The Caldecott Honor artist Pamela Zagarenski’s rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with odd, charming details that nonsleepy children could examine for hours. A rare gem. less...
